SEEDING WITH OATS.

There Is a general belief among farm
ers that oats are not so good to seed
with as other grains. For one reason
they are sown later and on poorer land
than spring wheat or barley. The oat
crop receives less attention than any
other. and it is often covered with clods
not mellowed down as would be deemed
necessary for other grains. 1t also re-
mains on the ground one to three weeks
longer than barley sow' at the same
time, and this later growth comes at
the most trying time for young clover
or timothy. The farmers who seed
with oats generally lack faith, and do
not lavish their seed 50 literally as those
who SOW other grains. Unless man
has faith and hope in what he is doing
it is scarcely possible for him to do any
thing well. Sow at least a peck of
clover seed if sown alone, or six quarts
of timothy seed is also sown and seed,
ing with oats will almost certainly be a
success. The probability that some
grass seed will fail with this crop is
surely no reason for seeding more spar
ingly with il than with others.

ROSES.

A well-kept bed of roses is a beautiful
object, but to have satisfactory results
considerable care must be exercised,
especially with eyer-blooming and ten
der roses, and these are the only varie-
ties which viii give succession to
bloom through the season. Procure
good sized plants, butlight shy of novelti-
es. As with other bedding plants it is
best TO confine yourself TO those of known
merit rs bedders rather than To waste
your time and money on new sorts, un-
less you already hav old ones and desire
to complete a collection. For bedding
rose nothing will beat the ole Hermosa.
IL is as near a perfect blOomer as any
we have. The medium sized pink bloom
is not much as specimen, but as bed
der the plant is excellent. Appoline and
Agrippina belong to the same class, and
are also good; they are shades of Grim
son in color. For specimen tea roses,

els Bennett, recently heavily advertised,
while valuable in the greenhouse, is
utterly yalueless as a garden rose. The
most promising new rose is the Ameri-
can Beauty, pink hybrid tea. Other
new roses of possible merit are the
Puritan, hybrid tea, and Princess Bea-
trice, tea. These, however, will have to
be further tested before they be recon-
mended 10 the general planter. a love
" hybrid tea is Ia France. Its beauty
is great. and its exquisite fragrance has
not yet been equaled.

SHEEP HUsBANDRY.

1t has been demonstrated that sheep
husbandry may be made profitable in
Minnesota andDakota, for the product
OF mutton and wool. In combining
mntton and wool production some are
successful in rearing early lambs for
market, but the general experience
seems TO be that IN order TO make them
profitable the surroundings must be
specially fayOrable-warm quarters,
careful and skillful feeding and a mar
ket that will pay fancy prices. Other
wise it is better that the lamps be drop
ped in May or June and kept for the
Fall and early Winter market.
Larger llocks of fine-wooled than of
coarse-wooled sheep can be kept to-
gether without deteriorating, but all
sheep do better if occasionally changed
from one field TO another.
a small flock on farm with other
stock can always be made profitable.
If put on rather short feed they will eat
almost anything, daisies, brush, briers
and even that notable pest, wild carrot.
They prefer dry ground, butneed plenty
of water. and if they have access to it
is hard matter to starve them in Sum-
mer. In Winter they relish almost any
kind of coarse fodder, such as bean and
buckwheat straws. but if fed such ma
terial they need grain in order to keep
them in healthy condition and preserve
an even and steady growth of wool,
preventing joints in it, which very much
iniure the quality.

RAISE BETTER HORSES.

Fashion has brought about many
changes in horse breeding among
American farmers, and no race has
set the new style more forcibly or
to larger purpose than the Ameri-
can trotting horse. The Amerl-
can trotter is a horse capable OF
every service; there is, in almost
literal truth, no limit to the speed
in which he can trot one mile, and
his capacity of endurance, whereof
such contests are most exactlng
proof, is accepted as a fact in the
minds of all observant men, while
bis patient temper, and good size,
combined with the extraordinary
muscularity with which true sys-
tens of breeding have endowed
him, render him an exceedingly
valuable animal for any work Of
labor and routine.
The farmer who is looking for
ward to improvement in his stock,
must be careful in making Selec'
ton OF his breeding animals, and,
herein, it is of the utmost impor-
lance that the sire chosen be an
available, valuable, and in every
respect a choice animal, possessing
individually and ancestrally the
best qualities which the offspring
is desired to possess.

At the session of the dancing

the correct position for Waiting
was defined. 1t was decided that
the gentleman should hold the lady
with his right forearm, placing his
hand flat against the back. No
part Of his arm above the elbow
should come in contact with her
body. The lady's left hand should
rest upon the gentleman's arm,
about four inches from the should

OF about forty.fve degrees from the
